NASHVILLE, Tenn. — March 5, 2026
EndeavorB2B is proud to announce that Motor Age Training has officially partnered with the National Institute for Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) to become the original organization recognized as an Officially Licensed ASE Test Prep Partner. This designation reinforces Motor Age Training’s longstanding leadership in technician education and its commitment to aligning with the gold standard in automotive service certification.
“We couldn’t be happier to serve as the industry’s initial Officially Licensed Test Prep Partner,” said Michael Willins, Director of Business Development for Motor Age Training. “This partnership gives us a direct connection to the ASE style guide review process, to help us even better align our library of study guides and practice tests with the content presented on the certification exams.”
ASE’s newly launched Test Prep Partner initiative helps technicians and students easily identify high-quality learning materials that reflect current ASE task lists and certification standards. Approved partners are formally reviewed to ensure their content supports preparation for ASE certification exams.
Matt Shepanek, ASE Vice President, Credential Testing Programs and President, ASE Training Managers Council (ATMC), said, “We are excited to see Motor Age Training align themselves with both the standards set forth by the ATMC for accredited training providers as well as making sure their content closely follows the ASE certification task lists, which will bring more clarity for service professionals looking for quality test prep products.”
This partnership solidifies Motor Age Training’s position as a provider of high-quality test preparation materials and further strengthens its mission to support technicians and automotive students nationwide as they prepare for ASE certification.
Dave Johnson, president and CEO of ASE, said the Officially Licensed ASE Test Prep Partner initiative provides technicians and students with confidence that the materials they are using to prepare have been reviewed to align with current ASE task lists and standards. “This program reinforces our commitment to supporting the professional development of service professionals at every stage of their careers,” said Johnson.
For more than 40 years, Motor Age Training has been committed to supporting automotive technicians.
“Becoming ASE’s premiere Officially Licensed Test Prep Partner underscores that dedication and commitment for the next 40 years and beyond,” said Chris Messer, Executive Vice President of EndeavorB2B’s Transportation Group. “ASE sets the benchmark for technician excellence, and this partnership strengthens our shared mission to help professionals succeed.”
